Ducks 3, Predators 2

Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and an assist as the Ducks defeated Nashville, 3-2, on Saturday night at Sommet Center.

The Ducks snapped a five-game road losing streak and have won three consecutive games for the first time since Nov.23-27.

Nashville pulled to 3-2 on a goal by J.P. Dumont with 3:00 minutes remaining and pulled goalie Pekka Rinne for an extra attacker but could not tie the score.

Getzlaf's wrist shot gave the Ducks a 3-0 lead at 11:26 of the second period. He set up rookie Matt Beleskey with a backhand pass to complete a nice play with Corey Perry for a goal earlier in the period.

Teemu Selanne, playing his first game since a broken hand injury Dec.3, got his 15th goal this season when he got his stick on a shot by Petteri Nokelainen in the first period.
